Chapter 85: Whose Brew Turns into Vinegar Soup
Shi Tao and Chen Qian had a good conversation, and when they were talking happily, someone knocked on the door.
Chen Qian opened the door and saw that there were two other little girls who were training together, and one of them saw Shi Tao and said to Chen Qian:
"The two of us went out to dinner, and if you were invited, I won't invite you. With that, the two giggled and ran away.
Chen Qian returned to Shi Tao and said, "Look, if you don't arrange it, someone will invite me to dinner." ”
"Then would you rather follow them, or follow me?" Shi Tao asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm following you, I'm going to eat you!" Chen Qian said angrily.
"That's right. Shi Tao looked at the time, it was already time to get off work, so he called Yang Qiong.
"Are you done with your work? It's almost time to go to the hotel. ”
"I'll be there right away, I'll be there in a moment. Shi Tao could hear that Yang Qiong was very happy.
So Shi Tao took Chen Qian to the hotel, and on the way, Shi Tao called Shangmei and asked her to come over.
The hotel is diagonally opposite the hotel, and Shi Tao chose a four-person table by the window on the first floor.
"What do you want to eat?" Shi Tao asked Chen Qian after sitting down.
"It's up to you, I don't know anything here, you can do it. Chen Qian said.
"Then I'll call the shots. Shi Tao finished ordering food.
"Aren't you waiting for them?, isn't that good?" Chen Qian reminded Shi Tao.
"It doesn't matter, they're all acquaintances, they just sit down and eat when they come. Shi Tao called the waiter, ordered six dishes, and asked for two bottles of liquor.
"Can you eat so many dishes? You want so much wine, you want to get us drunk!" Chen Qian thought that Shi Tao ordered a little too much.
"It's okay, I can't eat and pack, and I can't let you be hungry when you come here! Shi Tao said.
"Really!" Chen Qian was a little surprised when she saw Shi Tao say this, she knew that she had some alcohol, and it seemed that those two people could also drink when she heard Shi Tao's meaning.
"You'll find out in a moment. Shi Tao's words were not finished, and Yang Qiong came in.
Yang Qiong's hair is in a high bun, still elegant and quiet. Chen Qian hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat, "Director Yang is here, sit down quickly, I didn't expect you." ”
Yang Qiong's arrival did make Chen Qian feel a little surprised, she only heard Shi Tao say that it was his wife's leader who was invited, but she didn't expect it to be Yang Qiong.
When they were training together, the CFO didn't introduce them to each other, and although they had met each other, they didn't know each other's identities.
Hearing others call Director Yang Qiong, Chen Qian knew that Yang Qiong was a middle-level cadre, and since Yang Qiong arrived, Chen Qian had to be polite.
Yang Qiong saw that Chen Qian, who was full of golden curly hair, was already sitting opposite Shi Tao, and after a little hesitation, she also sat down next to Chen Qian.
"You're here early!" Yang Qiong saw that a table of dishes had already been ordered, and felt that Shi Tao and they should have come early.
"We just arrived for a few minutes, there are no guests in this restaurant, the food is very fast, just ordered. Shi Tao said.
"Who else?" Yang Qiong saw that Shi Tao was not invited alone, and she wanted to know if she had invited someone else besides Chen Qian.
Before Shi Tao could speak, he heard Shang Mei's voice, "Oops, I think I'm walking quite fast, but I didn't expect it to be the last one." ”
While speaking, Shang Mei had already entered the house, brushed her ponytail casually, and sat down next to Shi Tao without saying anything.
Shang Mei walked to work, and Yang Qiong rode a bicycle, so Yang Qiong arrived a few minutes earlier than Shang Mei when she came to the hotel after work.
She saw Shang Mei on the road and said hello, she didn't expect Shang Mei to come to the hotel. What she didn't know was that Naomi knew she was going to the hotel.
Shi Tao saw that everyone had arrived, and said, "Just a few of us, we can start." He began to pour four glasses of wine, just four glasses per bottle, "No need to introduce it, you should already know each other." ”
The three women glanced at each other, and only Yang Qiong nodded and said that they knew.
Seeing this, Shi Tao thought it would be better to introduce him, he was worried that Shang Mei and Chen Qian had not exchanged names yet.
"This is my wife's name is Shang Mei, this is Chen Qian of the Westward Migration Company, and this is the executive deputy director of Yang Qiong's finance, now everyone knows it. ”
Everyone nodded, and they all knew the name.
Shi Tao picked up his wine glass, "I have the honor to invite everyone to have a meal together today." First of all, this first glass of wine, Shang Mei and I did our best to welcome Chen Qian to the sea market as a guest. Everyone is welcome!"
After speaking, Shi Tao took the lead and took a sip, and the three women looked at each other, and they all took a small sip, as if they were all reserved.
"Try the food, today we are carnivores, the vegetables are four meaty, two vegetarian, I know that you all love meat. ”
Shi Tao took the lead in picking up chopsticks and took a mouthful of braised pork. The three women looked at each other again, holding the chopsticks but not moving.
Seeing this, Shi Tao persuaded: "Eat! If you don't eat, how can I be embarrassed by this treat! Today I will eat openly and drink freely, I know what kind of food and how much you drink, and you must give me face." Shi Tao advised everyone to eat vegetables.
Shang Mei sandwiched the braised pork and advised everyone, "Eat, eat, eat, eat." As he spoke, he began to eat, and he was no longer as reserved as he had just now.
Yang Qiong took a little dish and chewed it slowly, she was still so elegant when she ate.
Chen Qian also tasted the braised pork, "Not to mention, the meat is soft but not greasy, and the taste is very good." Commenting while tasting, she is neither as unscrupulous as Shangmei, nor overly reserved as Yang Qiong, but more casual.
Shi Tao raised his glass again, "The second cup, we congratulate Yang Qiong on returning to the finance office, she only arrived yesterday." Here, a toast to you. ”
Except for Shi Tao who drank a little deeper, the three women tasted it lightly, and the wine in the wine glass did not go down much.
After eating a mouthful of food, Shi Tao picked up his glass again, "The third glass of wine, toast to our fateful reunion." ”
Shi Tao first looked at Yang Qiong, and then at Chen Qian, the two of them looked at Shi Tao for a while, but neither of them spoke.
Seeing this, Shang Mei also looked at Shi Tao, and then at the appearance of the other two women, she didn't seem to be very happy.
The third time she drank, Shang Mei drank a little deeper, and she had already surpassed Shi Tao. Perhaps the stimulation of alcohol appetized Naumei, who ate faster and no longer disregarded the image of a lady.
Shi Tao saw Shang Mei gobbling up, gently touched her with his right leg under the table, and whispered, "Pay attention to the image." ”
Shang Mei turned her face to look at Shi Tao and said, "Isn't eating just for eating? What kind of lofty image does this have? I'm hungry, can't I eat more?"
Shi Tao smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and when he saw that Chen Qian and Yang Qiong were pursing their lips and laughing, he said, "Let me eat, let me eat, whatever you want." "I don't care about Shangmei.
Yang Qiong rarely eats vegetables, so Shi Tao let in: "You eat more." ”
Yang Qiong understood what Shi Tao meant, in order to fatten her today, she was very moved.
Maybe it's because of her personality, she doesn't want to eat and drink like Shang Mei, but it's hard to refute Shi Tao's kindness, so she picked up a piece of ribs, "I will definitely eat enough." ”
Shi Tao turned to Chen Qian and said, "Try the dishes on our side, what is the difference between them and your ones, this is a little crispy meat to taste." ”
Chen Qian generously picked up a piece, "Well, don't look at the spicy taste that we have, but it tastes really good." ”
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Shi Tao found that if he didn't let them drink, they wouldn't drink, which made Shi Tao very embarrassed, so he took the lead in toasting them one by one.
"Come Chen Qian, let's have a drink. How's it going? Shi Taojue didn't do finance, so I don't know if it is difficult to attend classes.
"It's okay, it's all trivial. I studied economic management and was also exposed to financial theory, so it was not difficult. It's a little less practical, but that's okay, I'm sure I can do it. Chen Qian is very confident.
Hearing Chen Qian say this, Shi Tao was also relieved, so he picked up his wine glass again and wanted to drink with Yang Qiong, "We haven't eaten together for a long time, so I won't say anything superfluous." Come on, let's have a drink. ”
Yang Qiong didn't speak, so she picked up the wine glass, glanced at Shi Tao, and took a big sip.
Shang Mei saw Shi Tao and the two women drinking one cup and one right cup endlessly, and she was jealous, so she took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, "And me, come! Let's drink one for two." ”
Anyway, whether Shi Tao drank it or not, he drank half a cup alone. We are two people, how old are you?
Shi Tao smiled when he saw this, and persuaded: "You can't drink enough, drink less." So I drank some too.
Shang Mei seemed to be a little angry when she heard this, "Who said that I can't drink enough, I will drink as much as you drink today, no problem!" Shang Mei didn't want to show weakness in front of these two women.
Maybe it was the stimulation of alcohol, or maybe it was the sudden increase in competitiveness, and after the three women drank a few times, they lost their initial reserve.
Chen Qian was originally very generous, she didn't stick to these at all, she talked a lot, drank like crazy, and ate a lot of meat.
Not to mention, Shang Mei felt that she was not worse than others, and she drank heavily and ate meat in large chunks.
Shi Tao could hear her hiccups next to her, and Shang Mei was still feasting as usual, and she didn't mean to stop at all.
It is said that Yang Qiong is much more relaxed than at the beginning, but she still maintains her elegance.
However, for her, she ate a lot more meat than usual, and later she only ate some vegetarian dishes, and she ate very little, and it seemed that she could not eat it, but she drank less wine than anyone else.
Soon drank the first bottle of wine, and when Shi Tao opened the second bottle, Chen Qian said, "Do you really want to open this bottle?" The implication is not to drink too much.
Shi Tao opened the bottle and poured wine, and said, "You must drink all the time today, I know your amount, there is absolutely no problem." ”
Seeing that Shi Tao insisted, Chen Qian didn't stop it again.
Shang Mei is determined to fill the belly man today, "Drink! Drink! Drink drunk today!"
Yang Qiong didn't say anything, she let Shi Tao arrange it.
Next, there was no need for Shi Tao to persuade him to drink, the three women went from the initial mutual respect and concession to each other, and later they actually had the posture of fighting for the amount of wine, and no one let anyone.
When the second bottle of wine was drunk, Chen Qian touched Shi Tao with her calf under the table.
Unexpectedly, Shi Tao's legs moved but touched Shang Mei.
Naomi reacted, "What's the matter? won't let me drink it?" The waiter took another bottle of wine. "Shang Mei is still energetic.
Shi Tao and Chen Qian glanced at each other and knew that something had happened.
Chen Qian meant to remind Shi Tao not to drink anymore when the wine was finished, but she didn't expect Shang Mei to speak in advance.
At this time, the waiter brought another bottle of wine, and Naomi took it and divided the wine herself.
"Come on. I'll have a drink with Director Yang, and I'll have to work under you in the future, I hope you will take care of me. ”
Shang Mei didn't care whether Yang Qiong agreed or not, so she took a big sip first, put down the cup and picked up the vegetables. Although she can't eat anymore, if she doesn't eat food, she won't be able to drink wine.
Seeing this, Yang Qiong said, "You're welcome. And he raised his glass and drank with him.
Shang Mei hadn't finished chewing the meat in her mouth, so she raised her glass and drank with Chen Qian again, "Come, big beauty, I salute you." Our family Shi Tao will be taken care of by you. Immediately ignoring Chen Qian, he drank wine first.
Hearing Shang Mei say this, Shi Tao's heart tightened for a moment, and he wondered if Shang Mei knew about his relationship with Chen Qian.
At this time, Chen Qian was so stunned that she forgot to reply to a polite word, and hurriedly raised her glass and drank wine.
